Linear Normalization of Microarray Data

[0431]Application of the linear normalization method is demonstrated using artificial data generated in a Microsoft Excel® Spreadsheet, shown in the following Table 1. Data sets X and Y are representative of microarray expression intensity values acquired from two experiments. The actual values are from a random number generator. The first nine rows at the top of the table represent replicate control spots. The replicates were used to calculate a best-fit least-squares linear regression line, as described hereinabove. The last 14 rows of Table 1 represent replicate experimental spots. Column 3 of Table 1 was generated by the resulting linear transform equation. Table 1 includes ratios obtained both before and after normalization, along with their associated percentage change.

example 2

[0434]This example describes a study using microarray data from four slides: a set of two excellent-quality slides, referred to as “Ordered”, and another set of two poor-quality slides, referred to as “Disordered”. Each set of slides matches one another, feature-for-feature, and are expected to equally express across slides and within each slide. The slide layout depicted in FIG. 27 shows two slides, each having one array comprised of four sub-arrays. Each sub-array contains five classes of features replicated ten times in a column. The nomenclature used herein includes: Slides 0-1 (S0, S1); Groups 0-3 (G0, G1, G2, G3); and Features A-E. Each feature has an associated background value used in calculating an average background for each slide.

[0435]The purpose of analyzing two sets of data, Ordered and Disordered, is to demonstrate the degree to which this normalization technique affects high-variance data as compared to low-variance data. Normally, only high quality data should be us...

Bi-linear Normalization

Abstract

The present invention is directed to deconvolution and normalization of assay data. The present invention includes a control and analysis system, used in conjunction with a signal generation and detection apparatus, for capturing, processing and analyzing images of samples having resonance light scattering (RLS) particle labels. The control and analysis system processes instructions and algorithms for performing multiplexed assays of two or more colors, for example, to allow separation and analysis of detected light that contains information from two or more different types or sizes of RLS particles. The multiplexing analysis software is preferably incorporated within the system of the present invention, and the multiplexing analysis is preferably performed in real-time during a scanning or assay procedure. The invention provides for a computer readable medium containing instructions for carrying out the same.
